Lake Seewen

Lake Seewen is a former lake in Seewen, Canton of Solothurn, in Switzerland. It was drained in the late 16th century. The lake was formed 8000 years ago following a rockslide that ponded the village's brook behind it. It had a length of about 2 km when full. The name of the village, "Seewen" (Old High German for "at the lakes"), comes from its location near the lake. In the 15th century inhabitants attempted to drain the lake to prevent annoying plagues of mosquitos.
